About Us

In the Beginning.

GBG Socks LLC, Planet Sox is a leading global manufacturer & importer of private label, branded and character family Socks, Legwear and Related Accessories.

Elie Levy; President of GBG Socks LLC | Planet Sox, founded the company formally known as E&E Hosiery Inc. in 1994 at the age of 24.

The company started as a domestic based manufacturer of socks. In 1997, as the market demanded, the company expanded its production base; importing socks from Taiwan, Korea, China and Turkey. We recently expanded our production into Italy and Pakistan to allow us to service duty free into Europe.

One of our most dynamic achievements has been our ability to branch out our distribution globally, we now ship into over 30 countries, as close as Canada and Mexico and as far as Australia, Brazil and Japan and Russia.
